Following the immense success of Marry My Dead Body, which took the Taiwanese box office by storm in 2023, fans are in for a treat with the spin-off series GG Precinct. Directed by renowned creators Cheng Wei-hao (Marry My Dead Body) and Yin Chen-hao (Man in Love), the series premieres on August 22 and offers six episodes that seamlessly blend irreverent humor with suspenseful murder mysteries.
The story picks up after the events of Marry My Dead Body, where detective Wu Ming-han (Hsu Kuang-han) and his trusty sidekick Chubby (Flower Chen) return to the precinct. Having helped his ghost husband Mao Mao find closure for his unexpected death, Ming-han is now back to tackle new challenges. His boss, Chang Yung-kang (Ma Nien-hsien), has been promoted to precinct chief, adding a fresh dynamic to the team. Hsu shares his excitement about returning to set, likening it to a class reunion where the sense of camaraderie among the cast felt stronger than ever.
Gingle Wang reprises her role as Lin Tzu-ching, a police officer who snags a promotion to squad leader after double-crossing Ming-han as a mole for a mobster in the prequel. Wang provides insight into her character’s complex motivations: “While Tzu-ching may have been a snitch who betrayed the squad in Marry My Dead Body, it was done to avenge her mother who was wrongfully killed by drug abusers. Tzu-ching is glad to be back at the precinct and is thankful for the warm welcome from her fellow squadmates.”
Producer Jin Pai-lunn offers a glimpse into the creation of the series spin-off: “While filming Marry My Dead Body, we could already sense the great chemistry among the group of quirky cops. It was particularly interesting to see the sparks between the squadmates as they investigated each case relentlessly, despite not being the most adequate in doing so. We immediately decided to expand the universe of Marry My Dead Body, and were fortunate enough to begin shooting with the crew even before we started promoting the film.”
GG Precinct promises to be a unique genre-blending crime comedy series that builds on the acclaim of the box office hit Marry My Dead Body, which is also Taiwan’s official selection for the 2024 Academy Awards. The series will follow the motley crew of cops as they embark on more mind-boggling and side-splitting crime investigations. Catch the adventures of the GG Precinct squad when the series premieres on August 22, only on Netflix. Don’t miss out on this thrilling continuation of a beloved story!
